I appreciated this story for the way it perfectly highlights the possibility and importance of queer, diverse love and how sexuality isn't a choice one makes, but a part of them that's always been there.  At times, I found the writing a bit "youthful" in the sense that it felt like a sixteen-year-old telling her story herself, but this wasn't necessarily a bad thing.  Overall, the characters were likeable and made for a wonderful, sweet read.
